So she is with the poor, I will take her path rather than the likes of Arundhati Roy.
I am afraid of most of the public figures in India, especially the politician types even tho' they may not be literally in politics as Ms. Mukherjee is.

The problem started with the left Government who thought it was a piece of cake to acquire the land . They offered much less than market price and went ahead with threats . The CM was on record saying -- We are 265, they (opposition) are 30 -- what the hell can they do. Mamata sure took the opportunity . Left later came up with better price but it was too late. That people were with Mamata is evident from her landslide victory in the Elections that followed. Industries are welcome but is it not unfair if Government comes knocking your door and say you need to vacate your house in a month and offer you half the price of your property --- more so , when the property is being acquired for a private "for profit" venture. About her Railway failure, I am not sure how much of it is true and how much is left propaganda. For example, the link forwarded by Mukulda says that Railways laid less than 100 km new lines while the target was 1000 km. This is completely false . Railways laid 709 Km new lines which is the highest ever achievement in construction of new line , completed 837 km of gauge conversion and 972 Km Electrification. See http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/logistics/article1588515.ece?homepage=true ********************************************* She is the one who instigated the farmers and stopped the project. Now it appears she wanted to hurt the CPI government. But she hurt the state in the process. As a central minister, she ruined the Railways that Laloo Yadav had brought to profit. She is all talk and no walk. =========================================================== --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Alpana B. Sarangapani <absarangapani at hotmail.com> wrote: From: Alpana B.
